Overcoming qRT-PCR interference by select carbon nanotubes in assessments of gene expression

Nanomaterials (NMs) of various types, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), can interfere with standard quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays, resulting in inaccurate gene expression measurements; however, the precise step in the qRT-PCR pipeline where this interference occurs has not been well d...
